	Heading down south to the	land of the pine,	I'm thumbing my way into	North Caroline

	G	D	C	C
	Staring up the road and	pray to God I see	headlights

	G	D	Em	C
	I made it down the coast in	seventeen hours,	Picking me a bouquet of	dogwood flowers

	G	D	C	C
And I'm a-	hoping for Raleigh, I can	see my baby to	night

	G	D	Em	C
	Running from the cold	up in New England, I was	born to be a fiddler in an	old time string band

	G	D	C	C
My	baby plays a guitar,	I pick a banjo	now

	G	D
Oh,	north country winters keep a-	getting me down

	Em	C	G	D	C	C
I lost my	money playing poker so I	had to up and leave, but I	ain't turning back to	living that old life	no more

	G	D	Em	C
	Walking to the south	out of Roanoke, I caught a	trucker out of Philly had a	nice long toke

	G	D	C	C
But	he's a heading west from the	Cumberland gap to	Johnson City,	Tennessee

	G	D
And I	gotta get a move on	before the sun

	Em	C	G	D	C	C
I hear my	baby calling my name and I	know that she's the only one, and	if I died in Raleigh at	least I will be	free
